Amanda + Will – Fox Hill Inn, Brookfield, CT Wedding Photos

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

Amanda and Will got married! They are both teachers, and they possess a charming and down to earth quality that is a pleasure to be around. We truly felt relaxed and comfortable around them, and their friends and family as well. It was such a special day and we feel blessed to have had the opportunity to be a part of it!

Venue: Fox HIll Inn, Brookfield, CT
Flowers: Bob Sabia, Irene’s Flower Shop
Ceremony Musician: Kathy Schiano, Millennium Music

One of our favorite things about the Fox Hill Inn, is the abundance of mirrors! It made it very easy to showcase a wedding gown as beautiful as Amanda’s.

Christine + Thomas – Stamford Yacht Club, Stamford, CT Wedding Photos

Friday, August 14th, 2009

Hilarious. Gorgeous. Captivating. Passionate. These are just a few of the words we could use to describe Christine & Thomas on their wedding day. Erik and I arrived at Christine’s parent’s house Saturday afternoon, ready to have an amazing day. Our engagement session with these two was a blast, and the way that Christine and Thomas play off of each other is terrific. We weren’t disappointed to be sure, and it turned out that everyone – from their friends to their families, were as joyful and emotional as Christine and Thomas are. It was, in a word, awesome!

Venue: Stamford Yacht Club
Church: Notre Dame Church, Easton, CT
Flowers: Gary Z
Cake: Angelia Mia
Videographer: Light Mill Film Studios

Danielle + Mark – Fairfield, CT Engagement Session Photos

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

We met up with Danielle and Mark at Penfield Reef in Fairfield, and they brought the awesomeness!! They are our first wedding of 2010, in February. We are now extra excited for their wedding, since we had so much fun together, and they gave us what every photographer loves – trust in our vision and process. It was one of the most beautiful summer days we have had this year. The sun was shining and everything was just right!! Danielle and Mark we hope you enjoy the photos as much as we did taking them ;)

The shells and the algae on the beach made for some great textures.
